I have upgraded my Web site, www.cardeologist.com. I paid to have My SQL added to my Web site.
It only cost me $40 for now and until August 2009. This should be complete and on my domain by the middle of the next week. So, I would say by this time next week, my blog will be moved over to my own domain name. I already set up the sub-domain for my blog. Once, it is all live and such, I will make another post and announce that. Thanks for all who is reading my new blog.

I plan to have CrossOver plugin, so I can post it into LiveJournal too.

So anyone know of any other good WordPress plugins I can use?

My web site is still down, but my e-mail seems to be working right now.
So maybe that is a good sign, because it was down too.
I hope it gets back up soon, so far this month I have averaged nearly 40 hits per day.
This will lower that. Gotta love down time.

I will post when it gets back online or any more updates to my web site.
So if you are trying to access my web site, please be patient, it should be back up shortly.

If it is not back up soon, I will notify Mister.net. I am sure they know.
Even the feature web site on their web site, is down too.

So if the e-mail is now working, they are slowing getting the server back up online.

My web site is down right now. Mister.net I hope you get the site back up.
So my e-mail is down too.
I hope that I don’t have to reupload all my web pages and reset up all my e-mail accounts and such.
This will be the 3rd of 4th time since I have had my web site that is has been down. Most of the time it gets back up right away. I believe only one other time I had to redo everything! But what can you expect, I only pay a total of $35 a year for my web site with them. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it will get back online soon!

I know it hasn’t been down that long. It was up earlier today.

My website, www.cardeologist.com is now back online! Woot!
This downtime from Mister.net only took a little over one day. At least it wasn’t like last year, remember that, it was down over a week and I lost everything and had to rebuild and redo settings. So I guess it could have been worse. But, after all I do only pay a total of $35 per YEAR.

That includes my hosting, domain name, e-mail, sub-domains and everything!

My website, www.cardeologist.com now has over 21,000 visitors to it. That total is for nearly 4 years this April 4th.
